JAMB 2025: “I Missed My 9:00AM Exam Due to an Accident” — Mayegun Sheriff Oluwaseyi Pleads for Another Chance

A JAMB 2025 candidate, Mayegun Sheriff Oluwaseyi, has shared a heartbreaking experience after missing his exam scheduled for 9:00AM on Saturday, 26th April 2025, due to a road accident while traveling to his center in Ago Iwoye, Ijebu.

“I missed my 9:00AM exam today, Saturday, 26th of April 2025. I missed this paper due to an accident that occurred while driving to Ago Iwoye, Ijebu, which caused me a lot of damages. Please, I really need to sit for this session exam. If there’s another date arranged for those who missed it, please inform me immediately. Thank you,” he said.

Mayegun’s plea reflects the emotional and physical pain candidates go through when unexpected life events stop them from reaching their dreams.

What Happens If You Miss JAMB Due to an Accident?

Unfortunately, JAMB’s rules are very strict. Normally:

• Missing the exam for personal reasons, even accidents, is not automatically accepted for rescheduling.
• JAMB mostly reschedules only for candidates affected by technical failures, biometric issues, or confirmed system problems at the center.

However, in rare cases, if a candidate can present strong evidence (such as a police report, hospital record, or official accident report), there’s a small chance JAMB may consider the situation — but this is not guaranteed.

What Mayegun Should Do Immediately

• Visit the nearest JAMB office as soon as possible.
• Go with documents proving the accident happened (police report, medical report, photos, or hospital admission paper).
• Write a formal letter of appeal, explaining the situation politely and requesting rescheduling.
• Stay alert for any official announcement from JAMB about rescheduling for missed candidates (if any).

A Word of Encouragement

Mayegun’s story is a reminder that sometimes, no matter how prepared you are, life can throw unexpected obstacles.
While there’s no full guarantee that JAMB will reschedule, taking action quickly and presenting proof gives you a better chance of being considered.

Final Words

Mayegun, don’t give up.
Follow the right steps, stay hopeful, and leave the rest in God’s hands.
Wishing you strength and a quick recovery from all the damages you experienced. Your dreams are still valid.
